Have you been thinking about learning a new language but haven’t been able to find the time?

The Japan Foundation, Toronto is happy to offer a series of Japanese language and culture talks where we will introduce words and expressions to get you started on the path to learning Japanese! All levels of Japanese learners are welcome to join too!

We will hold 2 online sessions providing the same content: during the lunch hour (12:00-1:00 pm ET) and in the evening (6:30-7:30 pm ET). These sessions are B.Y.O.B. (“bring your own bento“), so please feel free to bring your lunch/dinner with you!

As the start of a series titled “Japanese Seasonal Traditions”, this session’s topic will focus on Autumn. Come join us and learn Japanese words and phrases related to the Fall season, along with interesting cultural facts about this theme!
